Formtech Industries, LLC, Minerva Division; Minerva, OH; Notice 
of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated December 22, 2009, the United Steel Workers 
requested administrative reconsideration of the negative determination 
regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(TAA) applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on November 5, 2009. The Notice of 
Determination will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of steel forgings did not contribute 
importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift of 
production to a foreign source occurred.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information regarding customers of the subject firm and 
imports of steel forgings and like or directly competitive products.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record and has determined that the 
Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the 
workers meet the

eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of January 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
